That's really sad. A good smile is very important. Would you prefer to hire someone missing teeth or with a nice smile? Also, cavities and gum disease are serious health issues. We worry more about people in Africa than our own back yard. I am not for socialized medicine, but it is really shameful that a country as great at America has adults and children losing teeth because they just cannot afford dental care. If it wasn't for charitable groups such as this, the problem would be even worse.
